THE BROOKLYN PHILHARMONIC.

The fourth concert of the Brooklyn Philharmonic
Society last night not only the most delightful
musical entertainment enjoyed by the patrons OF the
society this season, but In some respects the most
brilliant concert gwen In the vicinity Of New ork
The programme contained nothing new and the whole
merit OF the extraordinary which crow ned the
concert was due TO Mr.. Thomas Miss Lilli Lehman
and tho members OF the orchestra -Four compositions
made up tho programme, namely: Schuberts Enfr'
Acte 10" Rosamunde" in minor the same composers
song Gretchen am Spinnrade with LISTS orches-
trail accompaniment. tho " Heroic" symphony b.,
Beethoven. and the finale OF Wagners Gotterdam-
100 men. the wood winds being doubled and also
portions OF the brass The effect ia the symphony OF
this augmentation of the band admirable. except
In passages In which tho oboe played solo, when
the peculiarly thin and aord tone OF Mr. 1homass first
player did not maintain itself against the rioh and
sonorous tone of the rest OF the band. THIS defect
however, was not noticeable in the Wagner music
which. far tona brilhancy, rhythmca clear
and precision concerted, was never better
performed In this country than last night The sem
suous effect overwhelming and the volume OF tone
rolled down from the mountain OF instruments upon
Miss Lehman would havo demolished any other
singer But Miss Lehman is On artist Who grows with
the task placed before her. and she gave out the mar
yelously dramatic music with intensity and sweep
ing power that made forget all about tho trcmcn-
dous difficulties against which she was contendng.
IL was most inspiring performance and Tor the first
time this the public carried of their feet
with excitement. All OF which Is significant tor the
future OF orchestral music in Brook YIN.

AMERICAN MONEY FOR IRELAND.

The present phases of the Irish question arc
fully discussed by Mr.. Gladstone in the current
number Of "Ihe Nineteenth Century" His
conclusions have been anticipated In the won
dcrful series Of speeches made by him during
the last year, but are ressted with admirable
lucidity. lie maintains that Ireland is governed
at cost. civil and military, which, if applied
to the Empire generally, not even the wealth
Of Great Britain could sustain. That is tho
economical side Of the problem which touches
Englishmen with their practical instincts. He
holds that English government in ireland has
been wretched failure, and that it Is con-
demned so generally by the judgment of the
world that it is impossible to find q witness i'm
Its favor from the whole compass Of foreign
literature. That government, moreover, in
stead Of giving satisfaction to the populations
of the two islands, involves intolcrable labors
and Obstructs the progress of legislation on one
side, and is an unfailing source of discomfort
and hostility OH the other. These propositions
MIR. Gladstone AYERS turn upon questions of
fact and arc not dcbatable matters of opinion.
Home Rule in his judgment is the only solution
Of tho problem that is worthy of the political
genius of the English people.

opinion on the Irish question forces him TO

He dismisses with a scornfl gesture the Oft

CHILD LABOR.

Mrs. Campbcll's paper in to-days TRIBUNE
deals with the most serious Of all the evils from
which the poor suffer. There is nothing at
once 30 cruel and so mischicvous as child labor !;
nothing which so hopelessly hnndicaps the com
ing generations Of tho poor; nothing which
tends so strongly TO create, foster. and Justify
pessimisn,, tho denial Of Providence and belief
in revolutionary remedies. The public at largo
have been living in FOOLS paradise in this
regard. Because laws forbidding child labor
under certain easily cvadcd conditions were on
the statute books; because a couple of officials
were appointed to do work which five hundred
could hardly have accomplished /; people have
said TO themselves that all was right, and hive
congratulated one another on the supposed fact
that tho slavery Of children was not possible
here. Mrs. Campbell shows that all such ideas
AFRO fallacious that child slavery does exist
among us and that In driving Il out Of sight
tho State has made it more inhuman and con.
scicnceless. Among the poor thcrc il little
foresight and no breadth Of view. How should

TIE BROOKLYN INVESTIGATION

The absurd attempt OF the men behind
Mayor Whitney. by means OF q proclamation
from the Mayors Office, to forestall. in sense
the legislative investigation which they saw to
he inevitable in Brooklyn. will have no appre-
ciable effect upon the inquiry to be made ny
tho committee to be named by Speaker
Hustled. Mr. Whitney's objection to legis-
lative investigation on the ground that BROOK
lyn is able to manage her own internal affairs
is without weight. The outcome of recent
legislative committee work in this city is ample
justification Of the validity and necessity OF
such injuries But the Democratic ringstcrs
in Brooklyn found it needful to make some
excuse, and this cry seemed moro available
than any other. The "home rule which they
desire is such rule as gives the Democratic
party absolute control Of the city government.
Having got their grip upon II, they are exceed
ingly unwilling to let go. But that is not the
sort of home rule that the honest, sclf-rcspcctng
citizens of Brooklyn desire. Their recent cx-
pcricncc of quite another sort is too vivid and
too satisfactory to mako them eager for n re-
establishment permanently Of the ring rule that
now prevails. As VIC have said before. the
Brooklyn system is an excellent one if rightly
INSCRIPTIONS Mayor it lays the entire munc-
ipal machinery open not only TO gross misuse
and abuse, but gives unlimited opportunities
for corruption.
Some wholesome, albeit harsh. truths about
our sister city were said in the course of the
debate in the Assembly on Tuesday. They can
hardly he read by the people Of Brooklyn with
any other feeling than that Of shame. And the
looscncss and degeneration which were there
shown. and which were described in the recent
Grand Jury prcsentmcnts, have been developed
in single year. This is the fact that should
impress itself upon the minds Of Brooklyn
voters. They should ask themselves in all sin
ccrity who arc responsible for these things.
how far each voter himsclf shares that response
blty, and whether tho misrule that now exists
is TO lie pcrpctuatcd.
1t is to show just how far these abuses have
gone, Just what officials arc involved and TO
what extent, and TO point out what remedies
arc needed, that the Bacon committee is ap-
pointed. 1t is not blow ut homo rule for
Brooklyn but genuine effort 10 vindicatc
Brooklyn's good name. Tho Legislature would
have failed in It's duty had not this necdful
work been undertaken. Good results cannot
fail to follow this investigation. The rascality
of the ring leaders and ring followers will DO
exposed and their stronghods shaken. Then
il the people OF Brooklyn do not rise 10 their
might and overthrow this dynasty OF evil the
responsibility will be upon their own heads
They can hardly be so blind TO their own in
tercss rs not to do it.

plc from starvation and eviction. and toward
promoting gigantic work Of emigration. II
contributions having their origin In noblest
motives of charity have been continued for
agrarian and political ends, Americans have no
reason to be ashamed Of their generosity and
Englishmcn no cause TO resent it. This Is tho
frank admission OF tho most eminent English
man Of his time. After this let us hear no
moro rant and clap-trap from the London
press about American contributions for Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone rightly assumes that the
Home Rule fund has received the countcnance
OF American opinion and tho aid Of Americans
of high station and character, free even from
tho bias of Irish extraction" That is lit
orally true and equally true is Mr.. Gladstone's
contention that Engishmen cannot condemn
the American contributions without condcmning
their own traditional practice. They have
themselves set the example Of such subscrip-
tons by contributing to the financial support
of political agitations in Spain, Italy, Greece
and Poland and so far from being ashamed
Of their past sympathics with liberal and ma
tional movements in foreign countries, they
would be certain to renew the same efforts II
like circumstances wcrc TO rccur. This Nus
tho whole question out Of the slough OF pref
udicc, where tho Tory bias of London journal
ism has left it. On broad grounds Of principle
Englishmcn cannot object to foreign subscrp-
tons in aid of the Irish cause. The fact that
money is literally contributed by Americans
for securing tho legislative independence OF
tho island shonld remind England OF Its past
failures in legislation and its present duty to
grant a full and substantial measure of justice.

opinion that organization destroys the moo
pcndenoo Of workingmen, makes them serf''
and strengthens the feeling Of hostility between
capital and labor, which certainly should not
exist. Such views, Of course will not find ac-
ceptance In many quarters, but Mr. lannon's
account Of his experience in managing his ousi-
ness, and of the prosperity Of the non-unlon
men who havo long been In his employ, goes
far toward demonstrating the reasonaheness

In. II. HILL To A LOVELY GRANGER GIRL.
Ono morning in September last,
Twas at n county fair,
A stall wherein stood she passed,
loved her then and therej
They showed me horses. cattle, swine,
My brain was In whirl,
turned and whispered. " o be mine,
Thou lovely granger girl"
Her bright. her soft, her thrilling eyes
That on my heart did seize,
Were bluer than the bloom that lies
Upon the upland cheese
And waving bigh-branched ensilage
Ne'er showered Oh the land
White blossoms that were half as white
AS was her snowy hand!
Love through my fond but fallow heart
Deep ran his patent plough
cried, Dear lass we neer must part,
hear thy lovers voww
She Experimentation little soul
And murmured, Statesman great
Why WOO me when can't command

That maid beyond compare,
Isought her, but sought In vain
At many q county fair;
But til my mortal course shall end
I'll ever fondly sign,
Olovely, lovely granger girl,
Myself your Valentine.
